Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 025 - The Ice Queen With The Heart of Gold
***** ‘Why does it feel like she’s always glaring at me?’ Xavier suddenly wondered as he glanced at the lady addressed as Dorothy behind the steering wheel, only to see her entirely focused. ‘Could I have been wrong?’ He wondered after noticing that the lady wasn’t even looking at him at all. Just as he was about to ignore the thought and mind his business, however, thinking he was only being paranoid, he caught sight of a pair of eyes sending a cold and scornful glare in his direction from the rear mirror. ‘I wasn’t imagining things,’ he thought helplessly, his frown deepening as he wondered if he had ever met or known the lady before. After pondering for a moment but failing to recall any memory of her, Xavier decided to dismiss the thought and turned his attention back to his mother lying on his lap, whose neck he was holding to prevent further blood loss. His heart sank again upon seeing her like this. Xavier clenched his teeth and his eyes flashed murderously. ‘I
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 026 - Relief in One Place and Anguish in Another
*****“Grace Sky… Sky Group,” Xavier mumbled as he stared at the black and golden card in his hand, then turned it over and stared at the mobile number written there after which he stowed the card away, intending to call Grace after his mother recovered. This was what Xavier was thinking after Grace and her secretary, who seemed to hate him for no reason har disappeared when the door to his mother’s ward opened.Xavier hurriedly raised his head and upon seeing that it was the doctor who had entered not long ago exiting while removing the gloves from his hands, he forgot the thought in his mind and instantly stepped forward with concern. “How is my mother now?” he asked hurriedly, jolting the doctor, who was looking around as though searching for something, back to his senses. “Oh, I’ve stitched the cut on her neck, and she’s already receiving blood to replace what she lost.” “That—that’s great,” Xavier muttered and his rigid muscles unconsciously relaxed, feeling the immense
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 027 - An Excited Frosh
****** Inside the VIP hospital room that was equipped with all the basic amenities of a bedroom, Frosh, unaware of what his men were currently thinking or discussing, stood awkwardly still, appearing scared to advance. He no longer had the menacing aura of a don who had terrorized many; instead, he looked so frail, pale, and helpless at this moment, staring at the dull eyes of his blood-drained, pale brother lying pitifully and lifelessly on the bed. His legs felt too heavy at this moment to move, seeing the heavily bandaged stump where Frosh Junior’s arm used to be. This continued for what felt like an eternity before Frosh eventually clenched his fists and pushed himself to take a step forward. Upon doing so, he forced open his dry and heavy, calling out hoarsely, "Br—brother." Although his voice wasn’t loud, instead just barely above audible, Frosh Junior, whose spirit seemed to have long departed his body and who hadn’t heard even when Frosh entered, was jolted aw
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 028 - The Reason Behind Frosh’s Excitment
***** ‘He still dared to be excited?’ Frosh Junior, on the bed, stared at his elder brother in disbelief and felt he was dreaming. He wanted to wipe his eyes and make sure he was seeing right, but then nothing would move, only making him realize that he had tried moving an empty air, as he was nothing more than a one-armed person now. In the next second, Frosh Junior’s eyes became filled with hatred as he growled. “Why are you laughing?!” Frosh was badly startled by this and he slowly stopped, focusing his gaze on his brother, confused about his sudden source of rage. “I—” “Are you that happy that I’m now in this condition and will no longer create trouble for you?” Frosh Junior inquired aggressively, making his elder brother freeze completely. Frosh couldn’t act nor react for a moment, instead, he stared blankly at his younger brother, refusing to believe he would think the way he just did. “You—you thought I was happy with your condition?“ He asked blankly, but then
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 029 Excitement in Both Places
***** “This—this…” Frosh’s junior eyes slowly brightened with a strong fervor after hearing his brother’s plan and his breathing quickened. The reason for his previous bitchy attitude toward his brother was that he thought he would never get his revenge when even his elder brother whom he always rely on couldn’t revenge on him, but hearing the flawless plan, his rage disappeared completely and he became excited. "But—but please promise me that you'll step in if the b!tch doesn’t get involved and help me capture the family of three. I want to take revenge with my own hands… hand!" He looked with desperation in his eyes and pleaded with hope, staring at Frosh, who hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. “What are we waiting for then? Let’s execute the mission already!” He urged and his brother hurriedly nodded his head before making a call.“I refuse to believe that you, a common prisoner would have any sort of relationship with such an important person, it must have be
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 030 – Becoming The Number One Public Enemy
*****“Would Father still recognize me after all these years of being away?” Xavier couldn’t help but suddenly murmur to himself as he waited for a cab to pass by.“Would he be filled with resentment for me for making his and my mother’s life miserable all these years?”“How will our first meeting go after I’ve left him childless for so long?”He continued muttering, his mood completely somber, an emotion entirely different from the one he had before he left his mother’s ward.Xavier only sighed deeply after a long time had passed before deciding to push all the questions in his mind aside since he was certain there would be no answers for them until he faced his father. This was what Xavier was doing, when from nowhere, a sudden cry for help rang out, snapping him back to reality.He frowned slightly upon hearing this plea, but since it had nothing to do with him and he wasn’t one to interfere in other people's affairs, he chose to ignore it.However, without any warning, hi
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 031 – Cassandra’s Stupefaction
*****Most of the people in the crowd had initially only joined in to hurl insults at Xavier, not out of true anger at him but because they heard others doing so and they did not want to stand out, yet, hearing him not denying the allegation, but even repeating what he had said, they went dumbstruck, finding it difficult to believe that someone would really curse a dying old man to death.Even Cassandra Blackwood, the dazzling beauty hadn’t been completely certain of the words that had drifted into her ears earlier and she had only acted more on instinct. But now, to think she hadn’t misheard…Everyone stared blankly at Xavier as if he were an alien, and this silence persisted for a moment before the crowd resumed their verbal assault.“How shameless!”“How evil!”“To actually curse someone’s grandfather right in front of his granddaughter—how audacious!”They hurled all sorts of insults and slurs at Xavier, but he remained unfazed, continuing to gaze calmly at the face that wa
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 032 – Threatened
*****“Grandfather, how—how can you want someone like that, who probably doesn’t have any idea about treatment, to treat you?” Cassandra asked helplessly, staring at her grandfather in disbelief.“Moreover, I don’t even think there’s any truth in what he just said—it’s nothing but gibberish that could only be understood by fools like him!” She spat, then glared hatefully and aggressively at the still-composed Xavier.Just then, however, she heard heavy breathing beside her, compelling her to look, and upon realizing the heavy breathing came from her grandfather, whose face was now rapidly shifting between red, blue, and purple several times faster than earlier, and her anxiety returned and her eyes became filled with unshed tears.“Grandfather, grandfather, please don’t die on me, please! Is it him you want, I will—”“I’m not dying!” the old man, who seemed to be taking his last breath, abruptly snapped, glaring at Cassandra.“You—how dare you little brat call me a fool?”Cassa

Chapter 276 – Grace’s Vengeance Heart
*****Grace’s initial reason for accompanying the Harrison representatives in the first place had been simple: a courtesy and a gesture of professionalism.But there was another motive, an unspoken and deeply personal one—a quiet hope to glean even if it’s the smallest hint about the reasoning behind the Harrison Conglomerate’s baffling decision to favor Sky Group out of the hundreds of more qualified companies out there Yet, her efforts yielded nothing.Instead, the representatives stood firm in their original statements, insisting without hesitation that it was because only her company deserved it, offering no further explanation beyond that.However, what Grace couldn’t ignore was their demeanor. The instant they stepped out of the room, the two representatives began to treat her with an almost reverential respect, one that felt entirely out of place given Sky Group’s standing relative to the monolithic Harrison Conglomerate.At first, she thought it might have been a tric
Chapter 275 - The Room’s Regret
*****Initially, everyone had thought they knew how the Harrison representative's visit would end.But this... not even Grace or Dorothy, despite their efforts of optimism had seen it coming.They had all assumed the Sky Group’s doom was sealed. That by the time the representatives departed, Grace would have been in ruin—her empire dismantled, her future destroyed beyond repair. And yet… Everything was contrary.A long moment of deafening, suffocating silence continued enveloping the conference room after Grace and the representatives vanished.The air was thick with disbelief, its oppressive pressure nearly tangible, weighing heavily on everyone.Every eye was wide, breaths were held, and the entire room was frozen in suffocating silence.None of them—least of all Lucius and his accomplices—couldn’t accept everything that had unfolded.Hadn’t they betrayed Sky Group in their desperation to align with the Harrisons?Hadn’t they dissolved every contract, severed every tie, and
Chapter 274 – The Two Representatives Depart
*****“This…”Gasps rippled across the room, every person staring in stunned disbelief.Lucius Blackwood—the embodiment of arrogance and wickedness. The untouchable tyrant, who had always acted as though he was above the entire world—was currently… groveling on the floor.This realization hit everyone hard dumbfounding them to the core.However, before the shock barely had time to settle, the loud sound of gulp echoed within the room, breaking through the tense atmosphere and drawing all eyes.It was Mason, and right now, he stood frozen, trembling as though trapped within an icy prison.The representatives also turned their gazes on him, their cold amusement laced with disdain.“You too,” one of them said, pointing directly at Mason. “Without verifying the truth, you made such a cruel suggestion, even daring to call me a stupid actor.”The words were a hammer blow, shattering whatever composure Mason had left.In the next second;“This… this is the devil’s work, sir!” he b
Chapter 273 – Lucius’s Apprehension
*****‘This…’The room became deathly silent momentarily, Mason’s words echoing in the air before finally, all eyes shifted to the patriarch whose expression was still unreadable.Even the two representatives were taken aback by Mason’s suggestion, unable to believe their ears.‘Apprehend us?’ Their minds repeated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Ever since joining Harrison’s Conglomerate, this is the first time in their lives to hear such disregard.They stared in a trance, while Nico.Having no idea about the part his son was headed, he only hesitated for a brief second before ultimately leaning closer to his father, his voice low but firm."Father… now isn’t the time to hesitate," he urged, his eyes bright.Instantly, the old man’s gaze turned icy, locking onto Grace.Initially, although he hadn’t entertained the possibility that the two representatives were impostors. Instead, his mind had been in complete blankness, struggling to process the sheer magnitude of the
Chapter 272 – Lucius’s Accusation and Mason’s Heartless Suggestion
*****Although several minutes had already elapsed since the two representatives revealed the major reason for their visit, the conference room remained frozen in an eerie stillness. Every person remained motionless, their gazes vacant, like soulless puppets.It was obvious that none of them had experienced such a profound shock in their lives before.This lasted for several more minutes that felt like hours before finally;"Nonsense!"A thunderous roar forcefully spat, shattering the silence in the room, and snapping everyone back to reality, their hearts suddenly pounding.All eyes directly turned toward the source of the outburst—Lucius.His teeth were clenched so tightly that they seemed ready to shatter right now, his fiery glare locked on the two representatives."Nonsense!" he repeated, his voice dripping with venom and fury as he glared at them as if they were the very embodiment of his wrath.On the other hand, the two representatives exchanged a brief glance before
Chapter 271 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Fear
*****“Father…”As soon as the prime minister departed, the middle-aged man, who had stood respectfully like a bodyguard from the very beginning—the president of the Harrison Conglomerate and the patriarch’s second son—finally mustered the courage to speak.His tone was tense, and his expression was filled with unease, unhappiness, and question as he glanced helplessly at his father who was still beaming foolishly."Do you have any idea the level of chaos this rash decision we’ve taken today would soon cause?" he asked, his voice filled with exasperation.In the following second, the patriarch froze mid-chuckle, his grin fading."What...?" he stammered, staring at his son as if he had just committed a grave offense. "What did you just say?"“I…”The middle-aged man hesitated, briefly doubting himself under his father’s intense gaze, but he quickly steadied himself and heaved a deep, long-drawn sigh."Father, have you perhaps forgotten that Projects Echelon serves another purp
Chapter 270 – Xavier’s Influence
*****That morning, Xavier awoke with a singular focus: fulfilling the promise he had made to Grace.Ordinarily, achieving this would have been an easy task for someone of his caliber, but his lack of preparation and the looming urgency had complicated matters.For a moment that morning, Xavier had even considered leveraging his connections from outside Riverton City—contacts he had intentionally avoided using since his release or even revealing his true identity.But just as frustration began to creep in, he remembered something he hadn’t paid any attention to from the beginning, thinking he wouldn’t need it.It was the parting gifts from his disciples on the day he left prison. Not everything, but the gift from the country’s president himself.The prime minister’s personal contact.Although all the tokens he had gotten that day had seemed unnecessary, a gesture of respect rather than utility, Xavier had thought he’d never needed this particular one, given that his original in
Chapter 269 – Xavier’s Message Recipient
*****Right now, Xavier, who had intentionally left the limelight a moment ago, leaned casually against the wall, his eyes darting around the room, taking in the thunderstruck faces of everyone present.The disbelief, unspoken horror, shock, face smacked, and hollow gazes—it was a scene he had envisioned a moment ago, particularly after the betrayals Grace had suffered. But even then, he hadn’t imagined it would play out this perfectly and to this extent.He continued staring for what felt like a long time before finally;“Wow,” he thought to himself, shaking his head slightly to clear his mind.Despite having orchestrated much of this outcome, the complete transfer of Project Echelon to Grace had also completely caught even him off guard.For a fleeting moment, he hesitated, unsure whether to laugh or cry at this exaggerated outcome.But then suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and in the next second, his lips curved into a faint, satisfied smile.“This is for the best.”T
Chapter 268 – The Bombshell
*****The room remained suspended in stunned silence at this moment, almost everyone paralyzed by the representative's calm yet world-shattering declaration.This is most especially Lucius, who had hoped with everything in him that the subject of the letter had been nothing but a mistake.Presently, he appeared like someone who had just watched his entire world collapse around him.His breath hitched, his chest heaving as panic clawed at him from the inside, cold sweat pouring down his face.He felt as though he was going to slump, all strength leaving his body, and he had instinctively gripped the edge of the table with trembling hands to steady himself.Lucius’s mind was a chaotic void, looping endlessly around the same thought: ‘This can’t be happening! It can’t be real!’And yet, no matter how fervently and desperately he wished for the spoken and written words to be a mistake, they remained as they were—unyielding, immutable truth.Seeing him like this, the representative
